Nana Patole’s political journey began as an independent MLA. Notably, in his early days, he contested elections as an independent candidate and won. This showcased his political strength and leadership capabilities. During his time as an independent, he focused on the issues faced by the people in his constituency, particularly emphasizing farmers’ problems.

Throughout his political career, he has continually fought for the rights of farmers and worked to improve their living standards.

He became known as an active and dedicated leader within Congress. His tenure in Congress was filled with numerous social and political movements. By winning elections on a Congress ticket, he earned the trust of the people.

Due to the growing influence of the BJP, Nana Patole joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2014. However, after a few years, he resigned from the BJP due to disagreements over farmers’ issues. When leaving the BJP in 2017, he expressed dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies. He decided to distance himself from the BJP because of their neglect of farmers’ problems and failure to find appropriate solutions. According to him, central government policies were exacerbating farmers’ issues. This is why he showed the courage to leave the party, a decision that was widely praised by the farming community.

Even today, he raises his voice on various issues across the state under Congress’ leadership. Furthermore, during the farmer protests central government agricultural laws in 2020-21, Nana Patole openly supported them. He believed these laws were against farmers and would place them under market pressure. For Patole, this movement symbolized farmers’ rights; therefore, he went to Delhi to stand with them openly.

Gadchiroli : After the surrender of commander Bhupati alias Sanu and 60 Maoists with weapons, the Naxalites got a shock, confidence in government was restored : Devendra Fadnavis

Published

Mumbai: The end of Maoists in Maharashtra is near. In Gudchiroli, a prominent Maoist, Venugopal Malujo alias Bhupati alias Sonu, who was active in many places, has surrendered along with his associates. 60 Maoists have surrendered before the Gudchiroli police, which is a big success for the Maharashtra Police. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has said that the Naxalites have been eliminated from the state’s Gadchiroli area and many Maoists have surrendered and they have returned to the right path and normal life. Their faith in the Constitution of India and the administration has been restored. It is a great blessing that the Naxalites have been eliminated from the state. Soon, the 10 to 15 Maoists who are hiding in the forests will also surrender. He said that Bhupati had expressed his desire to surrender. The police were in touch with him and then he expressed his desire that he wanted to surrender to me. So I said that I am ready to go to the forest too. But Bhupati was brought here and today Bhupati has surrendered. This is a big success. With the efforts of the central and state governments, the Naxalites have now become unstable and weak, which is why many Naxalites have surrendered before.

Fadnavis has said that the red terror has ended, the surrender of Naxalites from the borders around Gudchiroli is certain, due to the crackdown on Maoists from Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and other borders, Maoists have either surrendered or repented from Naxalism to a large extent. He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah’s dream of a Pakistan-India relationship with the Naxalites is being realized in shame. Bhupati was a Maoist who was the backbone and ideological ideology of the Maoists. His surrender will further strengthen the police operation. He said that it is the result of the hard work of all the senior officers including Maharashtra Police DGP Rashmi Shukla and the officers involved in the Naxal operation that the Maoists’ back has been broken today. Fadnavis said that there was a reward of Rs 6 crore on the Naxalites and now this Maoist has been brought back to the right path.
